Journaling Tip #7: Use Your Scraps

Here's a quick journaling tip for you this weekend. Use your scraps of paper to make journaling boxes/cards. I remember when I first started scrapbooking, I used to make journaling boxes for my layouts. Now these are coming back "in style." Many of the scrapbooking manufacturers are including journaling products in their current lines. Why not make your own, though? You know those pieces of paper and cardstock that you have left over from your layouts? Cut them into rectangles, squares, circles, or whatever shapes you like. Store them in a handy place, and take them out when you're doing a layout. It's a great way to use up your scraps, save money, and be creative; and you'll have journaling cards that match your layouts perfectly.
